Air Suspension Market by Vehicle Type, Component, Technology, & by Region - Global Forecast to 2021

The air suspension market is projected to grow USD 3.26 billion in 2016 to USD 4.69 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 7.54%. The global market for air suspension is driven by growing significance of higher driving comfort which has spurred the demand for luxury buses equipped with air suspension systems, and enhanced safety regulations which have forced manufacturers to come up with technologically advanced suspension systems.
Air suspension in a motor vehicle is powered by an electric or engine driven air pump or compressor. Air is filled into the air bellows/springs, made up of textile-reinforced rubber through the compressor pump. Owing to the air pressure the bellows/air springs inflate and raise the chassis from axle. The purpose of using an air suspension is to provide a smooth and improved ride comfort and quality. The base year considered for the study is 2015, and the forecast has been provided for the period between 2016 and 2021.

Increasing demand for luxury and comfort drives the global air suspension market

The primary function of an automotive air suspension system is to increase vehicle control and comfort. Air suspension systems enhance comfort by protecting passengers from road disturbances. Vehicle control is achieved by preventing the body from rolling and pitching and maintaining better contact between the tire and the road. A good suspension system can maximize the traction between tires and road surface, provide steering stability, and enable better handling. The air suspension system employed in vehicles ensures comfort for passengers and maintains the vehicle height at desired level during the travel.  Therefore, the ever-growing demadn for luxiry and comfort drives the growth of air suspension market.

The figure below illustrates the break-up of the profile of industry experts who participated in primary discussions

Major Market Developments

  • In March 2016, Firestone Industrial products developed high-performance air springs for the commercial trucking industry and also introduced new Ride-Rite extreme duty air spring kits for the light-duty market. The new Ride-Rite extreme duty kits are the company’s toughest light-duty aftermarket air spring ever manufactured.

  • In September 2015, Wabco Holdings Inc. entered into a partnership agreement to supply advanced and conventional technologies for one of Russia's largest heavy-duty commercial vehicle manufacturers. Wabco will supply anti-lock braking as well as electronic braking systems, traction control and electronic stability control, and electronically controlled air suspension, among other braking and air management products.

  • In September 2015, BWI Group has started building a brand new automotive suspension product manufacturing plant in the city of Cheb (Czech Republic). The new plant will occupy an area of about 15,000 sq. meters and at full production it will employ between 300-320 people. This expansion would make the BWI Group a more reliable tier-1 supplier.
